PRINCE PREACHES TO U.S. POLITICIANS
Religious rocker PRINCE is knocking on the doors of U.S. politicians, preaching about his faith as a Jehovah's Witness.
The Sexy M.F. singer became a Jehovah's Witness in 2001 and is using the faith to fight what he considers the extreme ideals held by America's duelling political parties.
He tells the New Yorker magazine, "Here's how it is: you've got the Republicans, and basically they want to live according to this (the Bible). But there's the problem of interpretation, and you've got some churches, some people, basically doing things and saying it comes from here, but it doesn't.
"And then on the opposite end of the spectrum you've got blue, you've got the Democrats, and they're, like, 'You can do whatever you want'. Gay marriage, whatever. But neither of them is right."
When asked about his perspective on social issues including gay marriage and abortion, the singer reportedly tapped a copy of the Bible, adding, "God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, 'Enough'."

Danny oh Danny, We all have our opinions about religion, but if you've never
been there, how can you talk about it. Obviously the man has found something
that has satisfied that "burning desire within his soul". If you know anything
about the man and his music, you would know that he has been searching to find
the "Truth" and he has found it. To say that it is a cult is not up to you or
anyone else to judge, especially if you have never been. And even if you have
been, then you would know that not everyone is going to respond to the
"Truth". It all comes out in the wash Danny, and hopefully the ones who do
respond stick, because Satan is very busy trying to blind the minds of the
meek.

Old Prince Please.
I love Prince,I hope he comes to his senses and doesn't squander his career
for a cult.
Jehovah's Witnesses (Watchtower sect) are the worst of the worst among the
hardcore fundys.
They don't believe in hellfire just make it hell on earth for members who try
to leave their cult.
Lots of twisted teachings,no blood transfusions, only 144,000 go to
heaven,child abuse and abuse of women and elderly.
